the grand hike
Hiking the Grand Canyon's South Rim is an incredible adventure. My good friend, Diana, and I hiked Hermit trail to Dripping Springs this past weekend. Hermit trail is one of the more moderate hiking trails, not maintained by the park and is steep, rocky and demanding in both directions. It's approximately seven and a half miles from the start of Hermit trail to Dripping Springs, round trip. The hike in is pleasant, but a tough workout. The hike out is tortuous. We didn't know if we wanted to crawl or cry. Having completed it, there is a sense of fulfillment and we are already planning to hike again next year on another trail going a bit further into the canyon this time.

Pam,
ReplyDeleteThis an awesome adventure! I hiked to the Phantom Ranch a few years ago. It is still a sweet memory.
